I think the meaning has the following aspects for your reference:

1. You can earn a little money through work-study programs, reduce the burden on your parents and improve your life. This is especially true for poor students.

2. Using the work-study program, you can put the knowledge theory you have learned into practice, experience society and life in real life, improve your ability to adapt to society, and improve your practice and hands-on ability.

You can learn a lot from work-study programs that you can't learn in class.

College courses are not as many as those in high school, so you can enrich your after-school life with work-study programs.

In a word, I think the advantages of work-study programs outweigh the disadvantages, although sometimes work will affect study.
